This delicate fan painting shows a few figures in a lush, green landscape. Trees frame the scene. Tiny brushstrokes make the leaves look real. Jiao Bingzhen made this for a Qing emperor’s gift. He was both an artist and a math expert. The calligraphy on the fan is by a top government official. It’s like three artists signed this small work. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more gifts like this.
